				<h1><strong>Mexico Celebrates its Independence</strong></h1>

<p class="intro"><i>To view more photos and videos of last night&#8217;s celebrations, visit the <a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/instagram/places/1099923" target="_blank">Plaza de la Constitución (Zócalo)</a> location page.</i></p>

<p>Mexico celebrates its independence every September with parades, festivals, feasts, parties and the iconic <i>Grito de Dolores</i> (Cry of Dolores). Also known as <i>El Grito de la Independencia</i> (Cry of Independence), it was originally uttered by priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in the small town of Dolores on September 16, 1810.</p>

<p>That first <em>grito</em> served as a pronouncement of the war against Spain and the event has since assumed near mythic status. The tradition is carried on each year on September 15 when the standing President of Mexico rings a bell and repeats a cry of patriotism based upon the <em>Grito de Dolores</em>. The speech ends with a <a href="http://instagram.com/p/eUDSH7Ewsf/" target="_blank">threefold shout of &#8220;<em>¡Viva México!</em>&#8221;</a> from the balcony of the National Palace to the assembled crowd in the Plaza de la Constitución, or Zócalo, one of the largest public plazas in the world.</p>

				<h1><strong>Catching Corners in St. Petersburg with @aerohockey</strong></h1>

<p>Zhenya Aerohockey (@<a href="http://instagram.com/aerohockey" target="_blank">aerohockey</a>) is always on the hunt for triangles in Saint Petersburg, Russia. On his Instagram profile, he&#8217;s collected over 80 photos of different triangular shapes and corners since beginning the series in February of this year. &#8220;I captured my first corner in a moment of boredom—I was in a simple office waiting for my friend to finish his work. I didn't know that it would become such a pastime for me.&#8221;</p>

<p>For Zhenya, the fun is in finding new perspectives. &#8220;To keep myself and others excited about the project, it is important to find corners in unexpected places and to shoot scenes with balanced color and light.&#8221; His followers often inspire the scenes he captures. &#8220;I have started to get great feedback from my friends and from foreigners. That is priceless for a photographer. And, that&#8217;s why on Instagram I feel I&#8217;m amongst friends.&#8221; To tune into the Zhenya&#8217;s corner series, be sure to follow @<a href="http://instagram.com/aerohockey" target="_blank">aerohockey</a> on Instagram.</p>

				<h1><strong>Capturing Shadows with @my_shadowplay</strong></h1>

<p class="intro"><i>To see more of Sukij&#8217;s minimalist photos, follow @<a href="http://instagram.com/my_shadowplay" target="_blank">my_shadowplay</a> on Instagram.</i></p>

<p>"Less is more," says Thailand-based Instagrammer Sukij Pongpisuth (@<a href="http://instagram.com/my_shadowplay" target="_blank">my_shadowplay</a>). Through his minimalist photography, Sukij captures the beauty in quiet, everyday scenes. From <a href="http://instagram.com/p/clcy5RjIrs/" target="_blank">pipes running up the side of a building</a> to <a href="http://instagram.com/p/dJkVNLDIjI/" target="_blank">shopping carts abandoned on an empty sidewalk</a>, Sukij looks everywhere for the perfect shot.</p>

<p>Regardless of subject matter, shadows always find their way into Sukij&#8217;s photos. Careful attention to lighting and positioning helps him capture objects at just the right angle so that their shadows become a prominent part of the photo.</p>

				<h1><strong>Exploring Kyoto&#8217;s Amanohashidate Sandbar (天橋立)</strong></h1>

<p class="intro"><i>For more photos from Amanohashidate and the Buddhist temple, check out the <a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/instagram/places/308827" target="_blank">Amanohashidate (天橋立)</a> and <a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/instagram/places/945921" target="_blank">Chion-ji (智恩寺)</a> location pages.</i></p>

<p>In the 17th century, Japanese scholar Hayashi Gahō is said to have declared the three most scenic views of Japan (日本三景): the islands of Matsushima, Hiroshima prefecture&#8217;s Itsukushima Shrine and, finally, the Amanohashidate sandbar in Kyoto.</p>

<p>With lush pine forests extending down to the expansive shoreline, Amanohashidate stretches nearly two miles across Miyazu Bay. Though most popularly viewed from the mountains on either side of the bay, the land bridge itself contains a small theme park and the Chion-ji Buddhist temple. The contrasts between forests and beaches have drawn local and visiting Instagrammers alike to stroll among the sandbar&#8217;s pine trees and document Amanohashidate&#8217;s beauty.</p>

				<h1><strong>Discovering the Magic of Italian Skies with @brahmino</strong></h1>

<p class="intro"><i>To see more of Simone&#8217;s photos and videos, be sure to follow @<a href="http://instagram.com/brahmino" target="_blank">brahmino</a> on Instagram.</i></p>

<p>Bologna, Italy-based Instagrammer Simone Bramante (@<a href="http://instagram.com/brahmino" target="_blank">brahmino</a>) began using Instagram in February of 2011 to see how mobile photography would change the way he thought about his own career. As a visual storyteller, Simone finds the balance between photos and text especially interesting, particularly as he interacts with and receives feedback from the Instagram community.</p>

<p>Many of Simone&#8217;s photos tend to feel magical as his subjects float, tilt or sink into the signature blue skies, expansive seas and rolling fields of the Italian landscape. He has also become well known for his #<a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/instagram/tags#mindtheclouds" target="_blank">mindtheclouds</a> hashtag series. For these photos, he plays with perspective to create scenes in which people or objects seem to seamlessly interact with faraway clouds. The series itself is an exercise in taking time to notice beauty. &#8220;[The series was] born at a time when I needed to look at the sky even if commitments did not allow me to stop,&#8221; he says, &#8220;But I often stopped the car, arriving late for meetings.&#8221;</p>

<p>Want to take your own #mindtheclouds photo? Simone only has just one important tip: &#8220;Be quick in framing the beloved cloud, because it changes shape quickly, but take all the time your heart needs to observe them.&#8221;</p>

				<h1><strong>Singapore&#8217;s Colorful Alkaff &#8220;ArtBridge&#8221;</strong></h1>

<p class="intro"><i>For more photos and videos from Singapore&#8217;s colorful pedestrian bridge, visit the <a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/instagram/places/666019" target="_blank">Alkaff Bridge</a> location page.</i></p>

<p>The central business district of Singapore is home to the 55-meter, 230-ton <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaff_Bridge" target="_blank">Alkaff Bridge</a>. Popularly called Singapore&#8217;s ArtBridge, the pedestrian bridge was designed to resemble a <i>tongkang</i>, a traditional boat common to the region.</p>

<p>Built in 1999, the bridge was painted in 2003-2004 by renowned Filipino artist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacita_Abad" target="_blank">Pacita Abad</a> and a team of paintbrush-wielding rope specialists who transformed it into the vibrant landmark it is today.</p>

				<h1><strong>Hashtag Highlight: #imnotallhere</strong></h1>

<p>Last year, Erica Spin (@<a href="http://instagram.com/spinphotoart" target="_blank">spinphotoart</a>) began taking photos that weren&#8217;t quite complete and tagging them with the #<a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/instagram/tags#imnotallhere" target="_blank">imnotallhere</a> hashtag. She captures photos of people and objects that are either partially obscured or removed from the frame. &#8220;I wanted to capture the essence of something without having to entirely show it in the photo,&#8221; Erica says. &#8220;I wanted to give the viewer a chance to use their imagination in coming up with different things in their mind when they saw a photo.&#8221;</p>

<p>Want to take your own #imnotallhere photo? Erica suggests finding a prop, such as a book, an umbrella or a lamp shade, to cover your subject just enough so that only one part of their body or face is showing. You can also try only capturing part of an object to make your viewer imagine what lies outside the frame.</p>

<p>To see more of Erica&#8217;s photos, view the #<a href="http://www.gramfeed.com/instagram/tags#imnotallhere" target="_blank">imnotallhere</a> hashtag page and follow her @<a href="http://instagram.com/spinphotoart" target="_blank">spinphotoart</a>.</p>
